I thought I'd post a 3-picture progression of how I progressed from a negative to a finished encaustic piece.
First, I scanned the 35mm black and white negative and made some adjustments in Lightroom.
I then printed the picture on lightweight paper (in this case, plain old copy paper) so that it would adhere more easily to the board.
I then did a little doodling and hand-coloring to change things up a bit. I used colored pencils, Pitt India ink pens and a Sharpie white poster paint marker.
Finally, I coated the picture with wax medium and fused it to a board that had also been coated with medium. I then added oil paint, incised marks, some oil pastel, and metallic paint pigment that was mixed with water.
All I need to add now are a couple of eye-screws and wire to the back for hanging. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
